The Canon Lens Mug looks almost identical to an actual Canon 70-200mm F4 lens, ...

Even though your identity and location remain anonymous when using the actual Chatroulette service, the CR site actually employs the use of IPs to assist in connecting random individuals. Using the power of IP location technology and mashing it all up with Google Maps, Chatroulette Map grabs a screenshot of the user and pastes their mug on the map based ...

Do you remember how excited I was about MMS finally coming to the device? Right now it happens to be OS 4.0. After the release of 4.0 it will�undoubtedly�be ...

A recent study at Stanford University showed that up to 44% of students admit to a full-on or partial addiction to their iPhones. The rest are apparently terrible liars. When asked to rank their dependence on the iPhone on a scale of one to five � five being addicted and one being not at all addicted � 10 percent of ...

Spotted using Google Street View, apparently after saving the princess Mario and Luigi retired from the plumbing biz, sick and tired of crawling through pipes no doubt, and decided to open their own restaurants. Mario’s is a bakery and Luigi’s serves pizza, kebobs and burgers. So if you think about it, they aren’t even really competing. They’re pretty complimentary of ...
